If you have a wireless router at home you will need to have a WEP key setup on your router. WEP stands for "Wired Equivalent Privacy" and WEP is a security protocol used to secure wireless networks. When you setup a router for wireless, you normally specify a key(password) so anyone that wishes to join your network has to enter the key. You normally set the WEP key during the router setup phase. You may have set it up and forgot it, or want to reset it. In this article I will go over the steps to find out the WEP key or change it. Your router may use a different security protocol than WEP so don't worry, you still need a KEY in order to access the network.

-On most routers(reference your user manual) you can access the router configuration page by going to the gateway address. The gateway address is the IP address assigned to your router. In a lot of the cases, this address is 192.168.1.1 but depends on your router. There are a couple of ways to find out this IP address. -Reference your router manual -In Microsoft Windows, go to Start > Run and in the run box type "cmd" or "command". A black DOS windows should open. In this window, type "ipconfig /all". Look near the top and you should see a "gateway address" item. This number is the ip address of your router.

Once you know your gateway address, open up your internet browser as if you were going to go to a website. In the URL(address) bar, type the gateway address and hit enter(see image below). A log in box should now show. Again, reference your router manual if you do not know the administrative password. Enter in your password and username.

Once you log in you now have access to the router settings and you can configure what you please. What we are looking for in this article is the wireless security settings. In the wireless security settings page you should be able to see the password for your wireless network and change it. If you see no password go ahead and set one up. **You can also look around and modify other settings. You can change the wireless security, give your wireless network a name(SSID field) and even with some routers have built in testing features to test the connection at home. I would recommend that if your router has a default password for admin/configuration access, that you go ahead and create a new one. The default router passwords are usually very simple and this information can be easily found on the internet by anyone. People who set up home networks tend to leave this as is and it is a security risk.

TIPS-If you can't connect to the router and you know the gateway address, try plugging the computer into the router directly using a Ethernet cable(LAN/patch cable). If you are still having trouble, you can perform a power cycle. Turn off your modem, router and computer. After 10 seconds turn on your modem, after 30 seconds turn on your router and after another 30 seconds turn on your computer. Try to access the router now. This also helps resolve other quirky router issues. -Make sure all the network cables, phone lines(if using DSL) and coaxial cables(cable/Broadband) are plugged in and secured firmly.

-If you set up a password and username for your routers administrative access and can't remember it, you can reset the username and password back to factory default by performing a factory reset. On most routers this can be achieved by pressing and holding the small reset button on the back of the router for 15 seconds. Please reference router user manual for more information.

I hope this article was informative. Thanks for reading.

A WEP key is a security code generated in your wireless router.

Unfortunately, you cant 'recover' your network password. You will need to reset the router and apply a new password. In order to do this, you need your laptop or computer near the router and an ethernet cord connecting the two. Simply follow these directions.

1.) on the back of the unit is a small pin hole with the word RESET above it. hold this down for about 30 seconds. this is a hard reset.

2.) connect your pc to one of the routers ports and open your browser (no worries if you cant get to perezhilton.com yet, it will only take a moment)

3.) in your browsers address bar, type "http://192.168.1.1". This is the URL to access the router.

4.) you will see a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password to login to your router. The default username and password will be either: a.) username= [blank] ; password= admin b.) username= admin; password = admin

5.) Once you re past the login screen, you can reconfigure the router.

6.) Go to the management tab and chance the admin password to something else so other people cant access your router.

7.) Your router should work after you apply these settings and restart your computer but i HIGHLY suggest enabling either WEP or WAP security.
